Taskmaster season 17 has reached the halfway point, with Nick Mohammed quickly becoming a fan-favourite contestant – and not just for his decision to do all his pre-recorded tasks in a Dracula outfit, complete with full vampire make-up.
While we can't give you a steer on how to get the exact Dracula costume, we can provide some info on how to buy the jumper that Nick wore to the studio for tonight's (April 25) episode of the show.

It's a callback to his starring role as Nate Shelley on Ted Lasso, of course – specifically the Diamond Dogs, a support group formed by Ted and his Richmond FC colleagues to discuss challenges in their personal lives in a safe space.
Nick's sweatshirt is an official piece of Ted Lasso merchandise, and you can buy it from retailers including the Warner Bros shop and Amazon for under £30.

The actor was also previously seen wearing the jumper on The One Show last year, when he and co-star Phil Dunster stopped by to talk about the third and final season of the acclaimed Apple TV+ series.
There's also a baseball cap designed in the same style. Again, it's available via the Warner Bros store and Amazon, and is also priced at (just) under £30 at time of writing.
Nick is competing against Joanne McNally, John Robins, Sophie Willan and Steve Pemberton to be named Taskmaster series 17 champion – and he recently explained his decision to dress as Dracula for the tasks.
He said that he appears out of character "very, very rarely, unless it's to publicise something" and that had made him feel "a little bit nervous".
"I thought, 'Oh, it would be fun to sort of slightly hide behind something'. Even though it is just me in a Dracula outfit, that sort of instantly relaxed me, thinking, 'Oh, well, there's a costume and make-up, so I can treat it like it's fiction'," he added.
Nick's co-star John also confirmed that Taskmaster contestants actually need to have a backup version of their task outfit for continuity reasons – having already spent a decent sum of money on a replica of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury's iconic yellow jacket.
"They want you to have a spare in case anything goes wrong, like if anything gets covered in indelible ink," he noted.
Taskmaster airs and streams on Thursdays at 9pm on Channel 4.
